As time rolls along and I collect more guns and accessories, I figure at some point I'll finally be satisfied with what I've got. Maybe then I can stop checking the classifieds every 5 seconds. I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Everytime I buy a gun, I say to myself "OK, now that's IT for a while!, no more! I've got to start chunking out my credit card debt!" A few weeks later I'm again checking my bank account and thinking of what bills are due next to see if I can swing that cool old rifle, or that neat little carry gun. I'm forever buying holsters, grips, tools, books, etc... I think I need help.
My father once told me, "Choose your addiction. Are you a drunk? A druggy? A gambler? Me, I collect militaria. And when I die, you get to sort through the multiple storage units of my stuff. Have Fun!"
So I offer you fellow members this thread, so it may act as a support group for addicts. I've promised myself I won't aquire (whether it be by trade or sale) another gun until Spring. (Present possible transaction excluded, of course)
I have a vision: It's me at 70 years old. I've got a crappy old car, a house that's falling apart, no wife and no kids, and a gun collection worth $500,000. That's kinda creepy.
Of course, if the gun-grabbers get their way and ban everything but sporks, maybe that will save me the agony of eternally searching for that one missing piece of my collection.
Stop me before I buy again.
